Can this be improved sufficient to print & frame?
« on: Thursday 13 November 14 12:54 GMT (UK) »
This photograph is cracked and not too clear. Might it be possible to repair and improve without losing any clarity?

Hi Alistair...do you have the original...if so can you scan at 300dpi as the results will be so much better...this is only scanned at 72dpi and a lot of fine details is lost.

Morrie & japeflakes, thank you both. Two lovely jobs!  :) :)

Hi Carol,
I will have ...... somewhere! I'll have a look and see if I can lay my hands on it easily.

Hi, another version for you. I have cropped it on left to balance the composition of the photo a bit.
